Thoughts?
As you can see from my thoughts above, GKMC is as good as any of them other than Illmatic. But you have 3 groups of people who would never agree:
1) Older people who always think older stuff is better
2) Young people just discovering classic Hip Hop not yet mentally mature enough to understand that albums in all genres get more and more praised over time and who don't hear enough groupthink to influence them into accepting GKMC as an all time classic
3) People with shytty taste
GKMC is the best Hip Hop album I've heard in a minimum of 5 years, probably at least 10 years if I have to think hard about it
